Bowie and Bing

This is one of my faves.


Comments:
I'm never completely sure of these clashing of worlds kind of things, like Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach or Rod Stewart and disco. It's a little unsettling. Can't everyone just do what they're supposed to do?
 
You are entitled, but I love David Bowie in this. Big Bowie fan here! (He touched my right hand during a concert in Chapel Hill; I unfortunately had to wash it before my son was born)

The real bad one is Clay Aiken. Bing, like Nat King Cole had no choice in the matter. If you dare watch:

I kinda like things like this. It helps me at least to think outside the box, to be more accepting, to see a larger picture than the one I'm used to seeing.

The Bob Dylan-Johnny Cash pairing is awesome Ian.
